This inspiration is seen throughout the collection with acid wash denim in corsetry and couture details to bring together these seemingly different worlds, the intricate hand draping of silks to create an effortless effect paired sculptural leather pieces, the juxtaposition of muted metallics with neon brights. Signature silhouettes such as structured suiting are reinterpreted and deconstructed, shown with sheer tulle and chantilly lace underpinnings as if catching hidden glimpses of intimate moments. Revealing more skin and celebrating the bodies, the people, who wear them is the boldest form of self-expression.
The 2022 Met Gala, hosted on May 2nd, held the theme of "Gilded Glamour" for the exhibition "In America: An Anthology of Fashion"; this is the second variation on the American fashion theme.
Prabal used stunning drapery, florals, and feathers to emphasize and bring a unique quality to each look. The gowns were paired with Tasaki Jewelry for a glamorous touch.
